Finally an umbrella that covers my entire patio table! And when I got under it, out of the sun, the temperature feels 20degrees cooler. It’s really well made of strong materials and excellent fabric. I love this umbrella! To be clear, the umbrella does not include a base. I misunderstood. Also, the required base has a larger tube to accept the larger umbrella pole. Much larger than a stand you may be using for your current market umbrella. Don’t be deterred! Get yourself one of these beauties so finally, everybody at the table can enjoy the shade!
